Why because Panama has improved every single year & mexico had done nothing but disappoint? That's twice in the gold cup.
Maybe, but the USA has looked much better than either Panama or Mexico...still each match has it's own flow. USA 3 Panama 1 DD
Well, bye. Would've liked to beat mexico in the final. Oh well. Panama will do just fine. They're playing well and it will certainly be the toughest test we've faced so far. Still...when has the US ever has a stretch like this? Yes, I know what the competition is. But the USMNT has never, to my recollection, had a stretch where they've been this dominating. It's pretty fun to watch. I'm not sure what Juergen did, but it's worked very very well.
I already answered why I was disappointed. My team is mexico and like you said they have disappointed, even if it isn't our A team. Which is what makes it interesting. Ill go for USA 2 Panama 1 Lol I'm from Mexico, deal with it. USA has been really impressive. Sunday's match will be a good one to watch.
It's been a very fun tournament, USA has been pushing the ball so much. Playing more aggressive than I recall them normally playing, not just sitting back for the counter attack.
^That's true. It's like the German has them always looking up to see who's ready for a pass now more than before, and he's making good strategic moves. Good game by Panama. I think y'all will have your hands full with the speed and creativity they've brought. While we continue to suck... and I sense Chepo will be gone. I hope he is. That send off for Klinsman will play a big part in the way the game is played. I'm thinking CONCACAF will not suspend him for the championship. I wonder how it plays out...

No big deal. Coaching is done in practice. The thing they'll miss is if there is any halftime adjustments to be made. His staff should know what to do.
WHEW !!! When EJ missed that open net, I was like.....oh no !!! Good job USA - best team in the tournament by far....and shows our depth as a national team is getting a lot better. And prayers for Stu - hope it is just a little knick that guy does not deserve another injury to his knee. DD
